Luther Hostel provides an ideal opportunity for laypeople, pastors, and other church workers to retreat to the seminary to study with CTSFW professors, worship in Kramer Chapel, and get to know others who love to explore their faith. During the three-day retreat, CTSFW faculty present lectures focusing on various aspects of Lutheran theology, taking an in-depth, confessional look at a specific theme. The fall 2025 theme will be "What is a Confessional Lutheran." The schedule also includes time to attend classes taught by CTSFW professors, explore the campus, and visit with current seminary students and faculty.
The registration fee for Luther Hostel is $200, which includes all meals.
